In the first presentation of the day, Motivational Speaker Mimi Donaldson had some interesting ways of connecting business communication with the National Football League. The unconventional keynote address spoke to many different many different ideas floating around in the American workplace, but it was her analysis of competing mindsets that got the biggest response from the audience.
Donaldson's approach to casual versus formal thinkers sparked some reflection in the Air Cargo 2011 crowd. She also noted how these thinkers have a different way of doing business in the real world.
In order to cooperate with one another, Donaldson explained several techniques to capture the attention of each group. She noted the process can be trying for some, but it can lead to the creation of a successful workplace.
Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Peyton Manning, to whom Donaldson dedicated her latest book, was a prominent subject during the presentation. She spoke about his efficiency in developing a game plan and getting his teammates to buy into the same goal.
Next up: The XLA membership session. I'll have an update to post shortly after lunch.
See you then!
